Topic: Sub-Alpine Fir #1 (Read 2622 times)

Here is a Sub Alpine fir that I worked on for the first time last fall and was repotted this spring.this one came from the Olympic Mts. in 2012Still has a long way to go but I really like the size and feel of this little triple trunk fir.

Thanks Rob, John. They are nice trees to work with, they back bud like crazy, have nice foliage and are often found very contorted and do develop craggy bark on very old specimens. I have not seen them used much at all, even here in the PNW.The Pac Rim Collection has 47 ronin in it's collection, a group of Sub-alpine firs created in the 70's by Bob Kataoka.

That being said, those are beautiful little sub-alpine firs. I'm "new" into bonsai and I'm just starting one (a subalpine fir that I brought back from a hike last summer). I was wondering how this Bonsai was doing and if you have any tips for this species? Thanks. BR.

B.R., welcome. I can't help you with info on this species. I mainly grow Deciduous trees and Larch. Just a word or two... the site went through some Tech Difficulties a coupe of months ago. It has been very slow recovering posters.Stop by from time to time and hopefully someone will be able to answer your questions.J
